This is the digipak for the band Muse's most recent album "The Resistance". The outside cover and case are black which is quite dull and not every eyecatching. However the sleeves inside are colourful and link with the art work of the actual album. The images on the digipak are quite futuristic and links to how some of their songs sound and the lyrics in their songs. This is then contrasted by the black and white image on one of the sleeves. This has connotations that they're quite an old band and have been around for a while. This is then backed up by it including two vinyls instead of a cd. Although its quite simplistic it has some conventions that make it recognisable to be a digipak. The small print writing at the bottom of the back of the digipak is something that appears frequently on them and also the bar code in the bottom corner makes it instantly recognisable to be a digipak. I will bear these in mind when creating my own digipak to make it recignisable as a digipak. I think this digipak is made to appeal to a large range of ages who listen to rock music, as it is quite simplistic so to appeal to the older generation and then quite bright and futuristic to appeal to the younger audience. Muse have a large fan base as they headlined this years Glastonbury festival and the way their digipak has been designed reflects this.
